Do you know fine leg from third man? Test your knowledge of cricket fielding positions with this interactive quiz

Cricket is full of jargon. Someone can be out for a duck, fooled by a doosra or standing in the gully. If you are listening to a game on the radio, it can be hard to interpret the vocabulary – silly, short, square etc – used to identify the positions of the fielders.For each question, place the fielder on the oval. You can keep moving them around until you are satisfied, then click next to move on. There are 15 positions and you get one point for each one placed in the right area.

The bowler is standing at the bottom of the pitch , with a red hat. The batter is the one wearing a blue hat, and is always right handed.At the end we will reveal how your answers compare to everyone else who has taken the quiz.
